Happy Clients.
"Lynn is a true professional. She and her team developed a complete marketing program to present our property to the market of potential buyers. She conducted open houses in addition to contacting potential buyers in the immediate area. She arranged for the house to be staged by a professional and this made a major difference in the impression it made with people who looked at the house. She arranged for a pre-inspection that helped in the selling of the property. I would highly recommend her!"
J. Wood | Seller
"Lynn is a great agent. She knows the local market and has great communication skills and follow through. She made the selling of our house easy and smooth. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to sell or buy."
Trudy Svrcek | Seller
"Desiree was there for us every step of the way. From the initial assessment of our property, to helping us price and list it, to staging it, to helping manage the offers and finally help with the closing. She was even there to check on the property for me when I was out of town and keep out intruders."
Ron N. | Seller
"As a real estate investor, I have used Desiree to buy and sell several homes. She knows the local area, has great connections, and goes over and beyond what is expected of a realtor. That being said, she works exceptionally hard for her clients and is on top of every detail. She is the only REALTOR® that I would and will ever use in Charleston."
Jaquelyn Smith | Seller
"We were relocating to the area during the height of the Covid shut down. Desiree did a great job of face-timing us when she went to see houses. She looked in all the corners, at the ceilings, flooring... all the things that matter. She went as soon as possible to the houses to give us a shot at them during a time when most houses were going under contract within a day. Desiree is very knowledgeable about the area and knew from an address whether it was somewhere for us. We had some serious difficulties with our sellers meeting deadlines and Desiree was pro-active and kept after them and helped to calm our frazzled nerves through the entire process. Her recommendations for inspectors and other professionals were great."
Patti McKenna | Buyer
"Being a first time home buyer, I could not have hoped for a more knowledgeable and helpful real estate agent than Desiree Maurer. She was nearly always available to answer any of our questions, no matter how simple or what time of day, and most importantly she didn't stop explaining until we were satisfied. I cannot put in words how strongly I recommend Desiree to anyone trying to buy or sell a house, she genuinely made what could've been an extremely stressful time into the most exciting time of my life."
Tim Blake | Buyer
"Lynn was very helpful from start to finish. She gave me great feedback and advice and made the home buying process easier and more fun than I expected. She was extremely thorough and was readily available at all times. She told me numerous times that it's going to work out like it's supposed to, and I'll find the right place for me; and that's exactly what happened."
KD Spain | Buyer
"Desiree was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and listened to what was important to me in my search. Since I am new to Charleston she was very helpful in selecting the perfect home in a perfect location. She walked me through all of the steps, provided me with the best home inspector, and real estate attorneys. Overall seamless experience."
Ann Telelli | Buyer
"Lynn is very knowledgeable and pragmatic in her approach to listing and selling a property. She was very knowledgeable about my community, and made the entire process as seamless as possible. Kudos to Lynn and her team for a job well done!"
P. Senior | Seller
"Desiree was great to work with while selling our house. She was very knowledgeable about the market in our area, and I trusted her advice. She was always available to for questions, which was important to us since this was our first time selling a house. She provided weekly updates on the market. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone buying or selling a house in the Charleston area."
Lindsey Capps | Seller
"We sold twice and purchased once with Lynn. One home sold within 3 days with 2 offers, and the other home sold within 6 days; mind you we sold in a slow market. All 3 transactions went perfectly smooth with Lynn staying on top of every detail. Her professionalism and knowledge are unmatched making her a pleasure to deal with."
D. Benson | Seller
"Sara helped us find our first home. Couldn’t ask for a better realtor. Found us the perfect house for us and our 3 dogs."
Chris Maher | Buyer
"I’m so happy to have used Amy as our real estate agent! My boyfriend and I were new to the home buying process and to have someone as hard working and responsive as Amy made the whole process WAY less intimidating! Whenever we had questions or needed additional information about closing, Amy always followed up promptly and had all the information/contacts/education needed and sent over to us right away. I’m very thankful we had her guidance throughout the process of buying our first home and recommend her real estate expertise to everyone in the area!"
Amy Cartwright | Buyer
"We recently used Sara as our REALTOR® and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! She was helpful in every aspect with a very short timeline. She even pointed out a blemish in the home (we missed!) that we were able to have the seller take care of before closing proving she really does care about her clients! Highly recommend!"
Amanda Wells | Buyer
"Desiree Maurer was an excellent agent for us. My son moved into the area first and recommended Desiree. She was excellent with his purchase and with ours as well. She was very knowledgeable, personable, accessible, and responded promptly. She provided good guidance throughout the buying process and worked to keep things moving along. She is one of the best agents that I have used. I highly recommend and would use her again myself."
Ken Laing | Buyer
"Lynn is very knowledgeable and great to work with! She always responded to us in a timely manner and made the process of buying our home easy and seamless for us. This is the second time my husband has used her to buy a home and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent!"
Misty Young | Buyer
"Amy was wonderful to work with. She helped us sell the home we were in and then helped us purchase our new home. Amy was with us every step of the way. She guided us with all of her knowledge and expertise. She also fought for us and helped us get into our new home. She made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. My wife and I really can't say enough about how great it was to work with Amy. If you want somebody to buy or sell a home for you, your first call should be to Amy Watson. She is a full service agent who will work hard for you and put you in the best possible situation."
Adam Schwam | Buyer & Seller
"My wife and I bought a house with Sara over the 2019 summer! We were out of state with our 3 year old, running a business, and planning our wedding. I had lived in Charleston for about 4 years in the past. I was recommended to Sara, and couldn’t be more happy. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market, and always looked out for our best interest in what we were looking for in our family! When/if I sell/rent or buy again, Sara will be my choice. Hardworking woman who not only found us a home in under 2 months, but was available to help anytime we needed her! Thank you Sara! You’re truly amazing!"
Bradley Gesser | Buyer
"Lynn Burnett represented a client I was helping to buy a home here in Charleston. Being that Charleston is a Hot market, Lynn did an amazing job helping this first time home buyer quickly find the perfect home that met all his criteria. With her decades of experience and unparalleled negotiation skills, she was able to help her buyer win the property against multiple buyers. I would highly recommend Lynn Burnett for any of your Real Estate needs."
Eli Driscol | Buyer
"I highly recommend Desiree to anyone needing the service of a real estate professional in the SC area. I live out of state and was unsure of how easy or difficult it would be to work with an agent under those circumstances, however, Desiree was absolutely wonderful. She is responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a smooth process from start to finish. I give her five stars!"
J. Will | Seller
"We have worked with a few realtors in the past and our experience was below our expectations. Lynn Burnett is by far the best realtor we have worked with and we trust her completely. Not only did she sell our house quickly (this was our 2nd attempt) but she helped us to purchase our dream home. We took her advice in the house preparation and negotiation process and everything worked seamlessly. Moving forward, we will always use her for all of our buying/selling needs."
Geoffrey | Seller
"Amy is super knowledgeable, organized, and communicative. Highly recommend!"
Kristi McIntyre | Buyer
"Lynn was AMAZING to work with! She helped us find our dream home! She always went out of her way to accommodate our schedules and promptly answered every question! I recommend her every chance I get! Thanks Lynn!"
Dani & Brian | Buyers
"Sara is an incredible REALTOR®. She is honest, helpful, reassuring and calm. Sara found ADJOINING TOWNHOUSES for my twin sister and I. They are a dream. This is my first home buying experience. Throughout the process, Sara was responsive, timely, patient (when I needed patience!), thorough, and flexible. I couldn't have been happier with the experience and would recommend Sara to anyone looking for a home."
Zoe Temple | Buyer
"Amy is knowledgeable, responsive, and a strong communicator. Always had a recommendation ready if asked and willing to patiently explain my options. She made the home buying process go smoothly."
